Once the bus arrived, the noise increased ten-fold and you could barely hear the mini-speeches that Nathan Jones and some of the players gave before the official group disappeared into the Town Hall for a civic reception.

Although the players were now out of sight the celebrations continued with live music filling the air and highlights of the successful season being shown on a big-screen.

As the heat started to take its toll and the crowd started to dissipate, I couldn’t help but think, wouldn’t it be great to do the whole thing again next May!
